Brilliant book, well deserved.

Or she is a clothes rack. Judging by Trump’s face someone just put a light bulb up his arse.

I remember when Tony Palmer reviewed the Beatles in The Observer, mid 1960s, that was considered noticeable. The cultural categories were starting to lose their relevance. Lady Chatterly’s trial was a big game changer too.

David, brilliant band. When You Walk in The Room is an iconic 60s record
